HDH179 - Samhain Sunset challenge

So how was everyone's Hallowe'en holiday?! I hope it was delightfully dark and macabre ;) Mine was pretty quiet... stayed home to hand out goodies to all of the little demons about. I ran out of candy around 7:30pm... WTF?! Didn't we used to stay out until like 9 or something? They started around 5pm, which is way too early in my opinion. What IS trick or treating etiquette? Oh well.

I watched a few scary movies while all of the candles in the house were lit... it was quite delightful.

I've got photos of the house, but that will be another post ;)

Sooooooooo, back to a little bit of papercrafting goodness... over at Haunted Design House, we are having our LAST challenge of the year, which expires this Sunday at 5pm CST. The Minions are in need of a little yard time from the dungeon, but will pop in now and again to keep everyone on their toes.

So, what is the challenge?

Macabre Monday challenge,

"SamhainSunset."

You are to create adark, Gothic, or Hallowe'en

based art piece that represents a Samhain Sunset.

We're looking for the colors of a beautiful fall sunset.
Think purples, reds, oranges, and yellows.

Isn't she gorgeous?! And I only used a portion of this beautiful image! Be sure to check out the whole image... seriously awesome!

Shades of orange and copper have always been favorite colors of mine, so this challenge was right up my alley. I tried to create an ombre effect with the tones in her hair and wings from dark to bright, but the photos look a bit washed out... sorry.

The patterned paper is from Memory Box (I think.... Nightfall or something?). And I used a TON of different Copic colors on the hair and wings... seriously. I think I'll be adding a bit o' Stickles to the dots and parts of her wings... she needs some glitz, me thinks :)

Don't forget to enter the challenge... who wouldn't want to win some of these amazing images?!
